Yes, I found that. ssh is setting DISPLAY to localhost:X, but only adding an xauth entry for `uname -n`/unix:X
hofmann:~$ ssh compileit compileit:~$ xauth list compileit/unix:11 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 e212a6688726a059503e0c9535289c17 compileit:~$ echo $DISPLAY localhost:11.0 compileit:~$ xload X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. X connection to localhost:11.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). compileit:~$ xauth add localhost/unix:11 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 \ e212a6688726a059503e0c9535289c17 compileit:~$ xload X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. X connection to localhost:11.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). compileit:~$ xauth add localhost:11 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 \ e212a6688726a059503e0c9535289c17 compileit:~$ xload compileit:~$ I thought it was just because the system has a non-standard localhost config where gethostbyname(localhost) == gethostbyname(`uname -n`) != 127.0.0.1. Anyway, this isn't the correct forum for this discussion - I've logged a bug in the BTS - number 152250. Cheers, Sam.
